Description
There are several places in racket/draw/private/color.rkt where two names differ by a space, but are defined as the same color. However, "cornflowerblue" and "cornflower blue" seem to break this pattern. Is there a reason why they are different?
Definition of "cornflowerblue":
https://github.com/racket/draw/blob/master/draw-lib/racket/draw/private/color.rkt#L143
("cornflowerblue" . #(100 149 237))
Definition of "cornflower blue":
https://github.com/racket/draw/blob/master/draw-lib/racket/draw/private/color.rkt#L249
("cornflower blue" . #(68 64 108))
It looks like "cornflowerblue" without the space has the same RGB values as the X11 cornflower blue on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflower_blue, so where do the RGB values for "cornflower blue" with the space come from? Is it a mistake or intentional?
